Color Style Guide & Design Gallery

Discover your colors

You're busy drawing your design, and now it's time to think about the colors of the knitting yarns for your scarf or throw blanket. You can choose from 21 colors for your design, but with so many fun color combinations, the choice can be a challenge!

To make the search for the ideal color combination easier, we've put together our own style guide with color combinations. It's like a library of images of products we've knitted before for other artists, just like you. Here you can see what different color combinations look like on our knitted products. We'll update the style guide regularly with new images of designs that our customers kindly share.

How do you use this color style guide?

Quickly browse through the images to perhaps immediately find the perfect color combination for your design. Another way is to visit a product page on our online store and try out different color combinations there. This way, you can see how different colors work together in the color sample window. After you've found a few combinations you like, look them up in this color guide to see how they would look on a finished product.

Relooped Color Samples

When choosing colors for knitting yarns, it's important to know that the color samples and images don't look the same on every screen. The colors in the product images also depend on the lighting of the photos. We always strive for the best representation of each color, but if the exact shades are important to you, consider ordering our Color Sample Card. Here you will find all the samples of the knitting yarns. With the yarn samples and our color book at hand, you're all set for your design adventure.

The road to a stunning color combination

When exploring colors for a new design, it's helpful to consider how and where the final product will be used. Think about the color of your coat that you'll wear your scarf with. And if you want to make a throw blanket for the couch in the living room, for example, consider the colors in the living room.

But ultimately, color is a matter of your own taste and feeling. There is no right or wrong. In this color library, you might find interesting color combinations that you've never thought of, but that you'll love at first sight. So, let yourself be inspired during your design journey!

The Color Wheel

The color wheel is like a visual map of colors that helps us understand their relationships and interactions. It was first created in 1666 by the one and only Sir Isaac Newton.

The color wheel is divided into different sections, showing primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. These colors are arranged in a circular pattern. This shows how they mix and contrast with each other.

The color wheel introduces us to concepts like complementary colors, analogous colors, triadic colors, and monochrome colors, all of which are essential when choosing the right colors for your design. This tool is a guide for creating harmonious color combinations for designs. It's like having a palette of colors that work well together.

The color wheel contains pure hues - that is, colors without the addition of white, gray, or black. You can adjust each hue of the color wheel by mixing it with white, black, or both. This creates different tints, shades, and tones from the pure hues.
